Archie Comics to Poke Fun at Gay Character Controversy by Having Him Kiss a Boy

by Susana Polo | 4:13 pm, May 21st, 2013

Despite the fact that his eventual wedding was covered in Life With Archie, Archie Comics apparently hasn’t published a drawing of Kevin Keller, its first gay character, kissing another guy? Or maybe it just hasn’t in a main Archie title, LWA, is, after all, a slightly more serious title that follows the adult lives of the Riverdale gang.

Anyway, they’re going to print Kevin kissing his boyfriend in a story that seems hilariously like they’re thumbing their noses at One Million Moms. Why would Archie want to get in a dig at One Million Moms? Do you need to ask?

If Websites Existed In Game of Thrones’ Westeros

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:33 pm, April 2nd, 2013

Caldwell Tanner didn’t use HBO’s Join the Realm website to create these unique House Sigils. Instead, he came up with his own designs for what popular websites might hang from their proverbial castle walls if they lived in the world of Game of Thrones. And we decided to join in on the fun. Look at the House Sigils and mottos from Twitter, Wikipedia, The Mary Sue, and more!

Remember When Mad Men Came Up With The Idea For Buffy And Twilight? [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:59 pm, March 2nd, 2013

Bill Stiteler and Jeremy Stomberg pondered what it would be like if Mad Men’s Sterling Cooper were in charge of coming up with ideas for films and television shows instead of advertisements. The results are all too close to home.

It’s Easy To Save The Date With A Back to the Future Wedding Photoshoot

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:20 pm, January 31st, 2013

Photographer Eric Cash of Shift-4 Photography made one couple’s Back to the Future dreams come true with a fabulous “Save the Date” shoot. Jarrett and Abbie enlisted an Atlanta based Delorean owner to complete their already awesome look. We also adore Abbie for going the less obvious route. “Since I’m currently in medical school, I thought it much more appropriate to dress up as Doc instead of Jennifer,” she said. Let’s just hope their kids don’t turn out to be you-know-whats.

What If Darth Vader Couldn’t Really Hear Anything?

by Susana Polo | 1:12 pm, January 9th, 2013

Okay, trust me. This doesn’t seem like the kind of joke that will still be funny after the first time you hear it. But somehow the idea that Darth Vader is just sort of wandering around oblivious to everything around him because his helmet is too well insulated doesn’t stop being hilarious.

Someone now make “can’t hear anything” videos for every character who wears a full mask please.

Turn Your Life Around With Help From the Manic Pixie Prostitute [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, December 6th, 2012

I’ve made my no secret the way I feel about the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope. In short, I really, really, really don’t like it. I mean, there are worse things that writers do in how they write female characters, but the MPDG just gets to me on a fundamental level for reasons I suspect relate to psychology and my adolescence and therefore will not be addressed here.

Breathe, Rebecca. Breathe.

OK, getting back on track. This short parody, directed by Adam Sacks and written by Leila Cohan-Miccio, involves a guy who hires a prostitute to “turn my life upside-down with your whimsical joie de vivre.” He even brought along props to help her get into character! One of them is a ukelele, because every self-respecting Manic Pixie Dream Girl needs a quirky hobby (or five).

If Cats And Dogs Were People [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:44 pm, November 26th, 2012

Having been a cat owner my entire life, I can tell you this is 100% accurate. And dogs, well, everyone knows how dogs are. So what would it be like if their personalities were personified by humans? Comedy gold. If you’re a pet owner, you’ll probably love this, if not, at least you’ll have a good idea of what you’re getting yourself into should you ever decide to adopt a furry companion!
